BOOM!
A large expanse of flames suddenly exploded beside him. The flames that leaped up transformed into fire snakes in the air and once again flew towards him.
Furthermore, there were even more flames shooting down from the sky.
Under Gu Zheng's control, the flames became even fiercer.
Gu Zheng looked at the distant flames and formed a hand seal. The wooden bracelet behind him suddenly disappeared into the void. Then the yellow wooden bracelet fell from the sky and disappeared on the ground.
The golden bracelet charged toward the bonfire. A sharp metal intent surged out of its body. In the blink of an eye, it also transformed into a golden sword that shot into the flames.
"What is he doing?" Brush Brush didn't understand Gu Zheng's actions and turned to ask Ren Chen.
"If I'm not wrong, he's about to seal his spirit. It seems I also need to prepare."
Ren Chen looked at Gu Zheng's vigorous body. It seemed that he was not inferior to Hu Ben at all. The magic treasure on his body was even more enviable. No wonder he was able to bring out the Desolate Cloud Sword from the Sword Mausoleum and even received recognition. It seemed that his body was truly different from ordinary people.
Ren Chen pressed down on the feather fan in his hand. It transformed into a white bead. Golden lines appeared in the air and entered it. He was ready to attack at any moment.
"Crash!"
After being suppressed for a few breaths, the sound of armor shaking rang out. A golden sword flew out of the flames. It spun a few times in the air before coming to a stop.
A large amount of flames exploded in the air, revealing Hu Ben's body.
His armor was still completely undamaged. It was just that there was a hole in his abdomen. Large amounts of black Qi were leaking out.
Looking at Gu Zheng in the distance and the fiery-red and golden jade bracelet spinning in the air, Xiao Chen felt immense pressure.
The moment he appeared, Gu Zheng clapped his hands. The two bracelets merged in the air, forming a flame that was half gold and half red.
After increasing their power last time, the five bracelets had become one. They had truly become one and could display even greater power. As long as Gu Zheng wanted to, the five bracelets could become four bracelets. However, they would still have the power of five bracelets, or even stronger.
Following a sudden rotation, flaming golden swords rapidly spun out of the bracelet. Their power doubled as they shot toward Hu Ben.
However, Hu Ben did not know what fear was. After he appeared, he was thrown forward by the newly condensed purple short sword. It quickly spun in the air, forming a purple whirlwind. It protected the top of his head and quickly pushed forward.
He followed behind, watching the sounds of collisions coming from above. Although the speed of the purple whirlwind was reduced every time, it still managed to block the combined attack of the other party.
As long as he could buy a few breaths of time, he would be able to close in on his enemy.
Would Gu Zheng let him grow as he wished?
Of course not!
A cold smile hung on Gu Zheng's lips as he clenched his fist tightly. When Hu Ben took another large step forward, the ground in front of him suddenly became soft like a swamp, causing Hu Ben's figure to stop abruptly. Half of his calf sank into the ground. Just as he was about to struggle with all his strength, a huge force suddenly pulled him down, causing him to sink even deeper, to the point where his waist was half way down.
This time, the opponent's sturdy armor was useless. In the swamp, a touch of green flashed. Countless vines rose from the surface and wrapped around Hu Ben's body.
Not only that, the two bracelets above his head turned into a long flaming rope that also flew toward him. It quickly turned around his shoulder and tied up his arm that had just been raised from the swamp.
Hu Ben struggled, but he was only able to lift a little bit of space before he was firmly pressed back down. Not to mention, those vines had already wrapped around his waist, making it even harder for him to break free.
"Hu hu"
The purple whirlwind in the distance drew an arc and continued to fly toward him. It seemed like it wanted to cut off the bindings on his body.
However, how could Gu Zheng let him do as he wished? The blue jade bracelet behind him directly rushed forward this time. His entire body turned into a mass of blue water in the air. He ignored the opponent and directly rushed past him. In an instant, he was frozen into a lump of ice in the air and fell down.
However, the water didn't slow down. It actually arrived above Hu Ben's head and swept toward him.
Hu Ben watched as the frost came and surrounded him. He also turned into a lifelike statue with an angry expression on his face.
"Now is the time!"
A cold light flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes. He suddenly moved his hand and rushed toward Hu Ben's head at the same time.
Along with his arrival, five jade bracelet phantoms suddenly appeared beside him, each shining with light.
However, as soon as they appeared, Gu Zheng's hand pressed down. The five phantoms fused together in the palm of his hand, forming an illusory five-colored ball.
A suction force suddenly emerged from above. Hu Ben, who was frozen below, emitted a large amount of black mist from his body and attacked toward Gu Zheng's palm.
Soon, the ball in his hand was already soaked in the black mist. It was still constantly absorbing the black mist below. Hu Ben, who was unable to move below, gradually eased his originally ferocious expression.
However, at this time, a large amount of black mist suddenly gushed out from inside. It separated from Hu Ben's body and rolled into a mass of black mist in the air, rushing toward Gu Zheng.
"A mere trace of consciousness dares to be presumptuous."
Gu Zheng snorted coldly. His other hand stretched forward, five fingers forming a claw, and suddenly grabbed at Hu Ben.
A low roar came from the mass of black mist, forming a huge mouth in the air. Then, it tried to swallow Hu Ben. Unfortunately, just as it came in front of Gu Zheng, an invisible force suddenly appeared around it. It kept squeezing toward it, causing its body to be motionless in the air.
As Gu Zheng's hand slowly tightened, the mouth was squeezed into a mass of black mist again. It continued to be squeezed until it became a mass of black mist only the size of a head. He pulled, and the mass of black mist was pulled in front of him.
Looking at the struggling mass of black mist in front of him, a white flame suddenly appeared and directly swallowed it. Suddenly, a faint scream could be heard in the air. In just a few breaths, as the black mist dissipated, the white flame turned and flew toward the phantoms in his hand.
After eliminating all the black mist in his hand, all the restraints below turned into a mass of flowing light and transformed into jade bracelets again, one by one, landing on Gu Zheng's wrist.
And the figure below that was touched by the restraints fell straight down as if it had no life.
However, at this moment, a white light flew from afar and suddenly entered his body, causing his tightly closed eyes to suddenly open. Looking at his body that was about to fall, he instantly jumped forward and then floated in the air again, looking around in a daze.
At this time, after the demonic aura on Hu Ben's body was completely removed, his hair became soft hair, and even the shape of his face was not as sharp as before.
"You've finally recovered."
Ren Chen flew out from outside and stopped in the air and said with a smile.
"What's going on here? Did this person help me get rid of the demonic aura? "In this short period of time, Hu Ben looked around and seemed to understand something. He pointed at Gu Zheng and said.
"Yes, indeed, but we still have important things to do." Ren Chen nodded and said.
"Thank you, friend, is there anything else?" Hu Ben cupped his hands and said to Gu Zheng, then asked Ren Chen.
"The other party is here to take the tiger's aura to help the formation spirit recover from his injuries. With my king's order, I have returned to my position." Ren Chen said frankly, as if he did not feel any reluctance to disappear.
"So it is. Since that is the case, we must abide by it."
Hearing this, Hu Ben raised one hand and placed it on his chest, making a solemn oath. He did not doubt Ren Chen's words at all. As soon as his voice fell, his body gradually emitted a strong golden light, and soon, only a purple short sword was left in the air.
"Take it out. At first, I only wanted to forcefully awaken the other party and then let him remove all the uninfected parts. Now, with your help, we can fully play our role." Ren Chen smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Zheng also thanked the two of them, and then took out the bead that the formation spirit gave him.
"This is our destiny!"
Ren Chen nodded slightly and did not say anything else. His entire body turned into a ball of white light and completely disappeared into the bead. The golden short sword also condensed into a golden light and disappeared into the bead.
At this time, the entire bead had become golden and white, and a strange aura was constantly emitted from it.
"Okay, take advantage of this time and quickly open the treasure box. We need to awaken the formation spirit." Gu Zheng said with some joy.
After so much effort, they had finally obtained the tiger's aura. It was really not easy.
"I want to ask, do you people here not know what fear is at all? This kind of sacrifice is too shocking." Gu Zheng could not help but sigh when he thought of Ren Chen and Hu Ben.
"That is not called fear, but the firm belief in our hearts. As long as it is my king's order, we can die for anything, including me."
The brush was slightly stunned, and then said in a rarely serious tone.
This caused Gu Zheng to be slightly stunned, and a sense of solemnity rose in his heart. He could clearly hear the other party's belief. They were really not afraid of death at all.
Now, he was more and more curious. What kind of virtue did the king that the other party spoke of have to make everyone willingly? However, he was definitely a selfless person. Otherwise, he would not have been respected and loved by everyone.
However, why did the other party abandon everything and leave with the elites? If he had the chance, he would definitely ask.
"Creak."
As the treasure box was slowly opened, a ball of dim blue liquid entered their eyes in the groove inside.
Looking at the formation spirit inside, Gu Zheng did not hesitate to put in the tiger's aura that he had collected in his hand.
As soon as it entered the ball of blue liquid, a burst of light was instantly emitted from it, and the treasure box in the air instantly closed in front of them.
Feeling the power in it constantly erupting, it felt like it could explode at any time. A man and a brush retreated far away, looking at this side from afar, ready to go back again at any time.
As for what happened inside, Gu Zheng did not know. He could only wait quietly. After a full incense's time, the treasure box flashed with blue light, and the whole treasure box exploded in the air, completely turning into debris that splashed out in all directions.
At the same time, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in mid-air.
Compared to the body that was like a spiritual body at the beginning, the formation spirit's body was now covered with a soft armor, which looked somewhat similar to Hu Ben's previous armor.
Moreover, on his arms, there were two balls of light, one white and one purple, constantly flickering.
"Thank you both, otherwise I would not have been able to recover." As soon as the formation spirit appeared, he directly thanked Gu Zheng and the others.
"Well said, well said, we are all on the same side, but I did not do much, it is all his credit." The brush spun around happily, but he still told the truth. After all, 90% of the credit for the formation spirit's work was Gu Zheng.
"Since I have obtained the Cloud Desolate Sword, I can be considered one of us. There is no need to be so courteous. However, I feel that we should continue moving forward. The current situation is not optimistic. Even the Heroic Spirit has been contaminated by the other party," Gu Zheng said after hearing that.
"That's bad, it seems that we have to take back the formation eye. After activating the formation eye, all the supporting formations here will be activated at the same time, which can greatly prevent being contaminated by the other side. Otherwise, everyone here will slowly be tempted by the other side and become the other side's subordinates." When the formation eye heard this, the blue spiritual body flashed, obviously very excited.
"Yes, but we encountered some things before, and now we need your Evil Spirit Jade to save Song Shan." Gu Zheng nodded, but did not forget Song Shan's last words.
"Evil Spirit Jade? Him? I still have this last one. With his help, we will be like a tiger with wings. "Jian Ling was stunned, then he took out a white oval jade and handed it to Gu Zheng.
"Evil Spirit Jade, first of all, you need to seal out the demonic energy within the other party's body, then activate it with immortal energy and throw it directly at the other party. The other party must not dodge, but if you throw it at the other party, it will have no effect. You must draw out the other party's core demonic energy, even if it is only a trace." The formation spirit was afraid that Gu Zheng would not know how to use it, so he deliberately explained.
"Well, brush, you follow the formation spirit. I will go to the back to find Song Shan. The other party is not easy to deal with." Gu Zheng said after receiving it and putting it away.
"I now have the energy of a tiger and am not as weak as before. Time is of the essence, I will go to the front to explore the path. If you come over, follow the signs I left behind and rush over." The formation spirit took out another blue stone and handed it to Gu Zheng.
This stone looked like a blue crystal. It was cold to the touch and emitted a blue light, illuminating the surroundings blue.
Gu Zheng nodded, then his figure leaped and quickly left. The longer he delayed, the more damage the other party might suffer. The sooner he rescued the other party, the better.
The formation spirit and brush followed behind Gu Zheng and left. When they were outside the hall, they went in different directions. The formation spirit and the others continued to move forward, while Gu Zheng returned to the back to find Song Shan.
He quickly returned to the previous hall, but he did not find Song Shan's figure. He listened carefully, but the surroundings were silent. There was not the slightest sound.
Gu Zheng looked at the place where he left and set up a defensive formation to prevent the other party from secretly leaving. Then he rushed to the side of the passage. He had to find the other party's trace first.
He searched several passages in a row, but there was still no sign of the other party, only the aura left behind by the other party.
In a short period of time, all the passages in the hall were searched by Gu Zheng, but he still did not find the other party's figure. Instead, he saw many traces of destruction in the surroundings.
He stayed in the hall and looked at the place where the brush was. The other party definitely did not leave this area, so it could only go there.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng no longer hesitated and rushed inside. Just as he went in, the familiar murmur came from the air again.
"Kill … Kill …"
Following the sound, Gu Zheng rushed directly to the innermost part. As he got closer, a knocking sound came from afar.
A figure was at the end of the last passage, facing the wall, waving the long knife in his hand like a machine, destroying it. At this time, there was a hole the size of a washbasin on the wall. It could be seen that the other party had been attacking for a long time.
Seeing Song Shan's current state, Gu Zheng's pupils shrank. Looking from the back, half of the other party's face was already black, and there was even a rotten aura coming from the other party's body. It felt like he could die at any time.
Just as he was about to get closer, he realized that the knocking sound had suddenly stopped. The other party turned around and stared at him with his scarlet eyes. A creepy feeling came from Ye Xiwen. It was even more dangerous than a Heroic Spirit.
"The Chaos Demon seems to be invading Song Shan's body."
Gu Zheng suddenly thought to himself. Then, he quickly retreated. This was because Song Shan had already brandished the weapon in his hand and slashed out a large amount of black gas. The black gas completely covered the passageway and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
The black gas chased Gu Zheng all the way to the hall outside. Only then did Gu Zheng find a chance to dodge, and he crashed into the wall and dissipated.
"Kill!"
A furious roar came from the sky. A figure flew out and pounced towards Gu Zheng.
At this moment, half of Song Shan's face was ferocious. The other half of his face looked like it was struggling. Especially in his eyes, the originally scarlet eyes had turned gray. It looked extremely strange.
However, seeing this, Gu Zheng was not surprised. Instead, he was happy. This was because Song Shan looked very different from before. His entire body was filled with the aura of the Chaos Demon. One must know that he was still thinking of how to force some of it out of Song Shan's body. Now was the perfect opportunity.
Seeing the other party rushing towards him, Gu Zheng did not fight with him. Instead, he flew to the side. At the same time, he took out the Evil Spirit Jade given to him by the Formation Spirit and injected his immortal energy. The Evil Spirit Jade shone brightly, and a holy aura was surging within it.
When Song Shan saw the Evil Breaking Immortal Jade, his face revealed a trace of fear. He quickly ran in another direction, intending to escape.
But how could Gu Zheng let him have his way? He tossed his hand forward. A white light flashed across the sky and entered Song Shan's body.
Song Shan's eyeballs bulged out as he froze in the air. Then, a huge amount of black gas came out of his body and formed an eye on the top of his head. It glared at Gu Zheng fiercely. Then, a white light flew out of Song Shan's body. Accompanied by a shrill sound, it shattered the eye completely.
Following the disappearance of the black gas, Song Shan's body started to recover rapidly. That horrifying appearance of his returned to normal.
